constraint-based-creativity

Use when brainstorming feels stuck or generates obvious ideas, need to break creative patterns, working with limited resources (budget/time/tools/materials), want unconventional solutions, designing with specific limitations, user mentions "think outside the box", "we're stuck", "same old ideas", "tight constraints", "limited budget/time", or seeking innovation through limitation rather than abundance.

brainstorm-diverge-converge

Use when you need to generate many creative options before systematically narrowing to the best choices. Invoke when exploring product ideas, solving open-ended problems, generating strategic alternatives, developing research questions, designing experiments, or when you need both breadth (many ideas) and rigor (principled selection). Use when user mentions brainstorming, ideation, divergent thinking, generating options, or evaluating alternatives.

abstraction-concrete-examples

Use when explaining concepts at different expertise levels, moving between abstract principles and concrete implementation, identifying edge cases by testing ideas against scenarios, designing layered documentation, decomposing complex problems into actionable steps, or bridging strategy-execution gaps. Invoke when user mentions abstraction levels, making concepts concrete, or explaining at different depths.

hypotheticals-counterfactuals

Use when exploring alternative scenarios, testing assumptions through "what if" questions, understanding causal relationships, conducting pre-mortem analysis, stress testing decisions, or when user mentions counterfactuals, hypothetical scenarios, thought experiments, alternative futures, what-if analysis, or needs to challenge assumptions and explore possibilities.

domain-research-health-science

Use when formulating clinical research questions (PICOT framework), evaluating health evidence quality (study design hierarchy, bias assessment, GRADE), prioritizing patient-important outcomes, conducting systematic reviews or meta-analyses, creating evidence summaries for guidelines, assessing regulatory evidence, or when user mentions clinical trials, evidence-based medicine, health research methodology, systematic reviews, research protocols, or study quality assessment.

evaluation-rubrics

Use when need explicit quality criteria and scoring scales to evaluate work consistently, compare alternatives objectively, set acceptance thresholds, reduce subjective bias, or when user mentions rubric, scoring criteria, quality standards, evaluation framework, inter-rater reliability, or grade/assess work.

prototyping-pretotyping

Use when testing ideas cheaply before building (pretotyping with fake doors, concierge MVPs, paper prototypes) to validate desirability/feasibility, choosing appropriate prototype fidelity (paper/clickable/coded), running experiments to test assumptions (demand, pricing, workflow), or when user mentions prototype, MVP, fake door test, concierge, Wizard of Oz, landing page test, smoke test, or asks "how can we validate this idea before building?".

systems-thinking-leverage

Use when problems involve interconnected components with feedback loops (reinforcing or balancing), delays, or emergent behavior where simple cause-effect thinking fails. Invoke when identifying leverage points for intervention (where to push for maximum effect with minimum effort), understanding why past solutions failed or had unintended consequences, analyzing system archetypes (fixes that fail, shifting the burden, tragedy of the commons, limits to growth, escalation), mapping stocks and flows (accumulations and rates of change), discovering feedback loop dynamics, finding root causes in complex adaptive systems, designing interventions that work with system structure rather than against it, or when user mentions systems thinking, leverage points, feedback loops, unintended consequences, system dynamics, causal loop diagrams, or complex systems. Apply to organizational systems (employee engagement, scaling challenges, productivity decline), product/technical systems (technical debt accumulation, performance degradation, adoption barriers), social systems (polarization, misinformation spread, community issues), environmental systems (climate, resource depletion, pollution), personal systems (habit formation, burnout, skill development), and anywhere simple linear interventions repeatedly fail while systemic patterns persist.

chain-roleplay-debate-synthesis

Use when facing decisions with multiple legitimate perspectives and inherent tensions. Invoke when stakeholders have competing priorities (growth vs. sustainability, speed vs. quality, innovation vs. risk), need to pressure-test ideas from different angles before committing, exploring tradeoffs between incompatible values, synthesizing conflicting expert opinions into coherent strategy, or surfacing assumptions that single-viewpoint analysis would miss.

strategy-and-competitive-analysis

Use when developing business strategy (market entry, product launch, geographic expansion, M&A, turnaround), conducting competitive analysis (profiling competitors, assessing competitive threats, Porter's 5 Forces, identifying differentiation), applying strategic frameworks (Good Strategy kernel with diagnosis/guiding policy/coherent actions, SWOT, Blue Ocean Strategy, Playing to Win where-to-play/how-to-win, Value Chain Analysis, BCG Matrix), making strategic decisions under constraints (build vs buy, pricing strategy, market positioning, business model choices), planning strategic initiatives (annual planning, OKRs, roadmaps), evaluating competitive positioning (moats, sustainable advantages, differentiation vs cost leadership), or when user mentions "strategy", "competitive analysis", "Porter's 5 Forces", "SWOT", "market positioning", "strategic planning", "competitive landscape", or "strategic frameworks".

negative-contrastive-framing

Use when clarifying fuzzy boundaries, defining quality criteria, teaching by counterexample, preventing common mistakes, setting design guardrails, disambiguating similar concepts, refining requirements through anti-patterns, creating clear decision criteria, or when user mentions near-miss examples, anti-goals, what not to do, negative examples, counterexamples, or boundary clarification.

dialectical-mapping-steelmanning

Use when debates are trapped in false dichotomies, polarized positions need charitable interpretation, tradeoffs are obscured by binary framing, synthesis beyond 'pick one side' is needed, or when users mention steelman arguments, thesis-antithesis-synthesis, Hegelian dialectic, third way solutions, or resolving seemingly opposed principles.
